I think sometimes I'm able to get a lot of writing done or work completed late at night because I'm too tired to let my ADHD and learning disability hold me back. At that point I can't be afraid of bad spelling or grammatical mistakes, I just have to finish the work.
Sometimes I'm afraid of bad spelling like it could happen out of nowhere. Like a shark attack.
I'm swimming and all of a sudden a shark appears.
I'm writing and suddenly I'm not sure if a word looks right. Should I continue? Do I look it up or do I give up that word and replace it with one I know I can spell.
It's a panic. I've been pulled under, drowning and I have to re-read out loud everything I've written two or three times and check the dictionary or thesaurus.
This is everyday writing my blog.
Day 59 of 365 Feet Project
Sometimes things are fuzzy in life and that's okay. This is me on Canada Day 2013, my head hurt that day. My head hurt for most of the summer and fall that year. I had been sick, grumpy and worried about being sick.
I wasn't up to going to see the fireworks and we thought the noise might have made me feel worse.
But I do like a good show. So, Yuri and I stood in front of our apartment in the street to watch. A couple of our neighbors joined us.
Not many of my pictures were any good. Most were fuzzy but I'm glad I didn't stop trying to capture moments even when I couldn't see them clearly.
Day 58 of 365 Feet Project
This photo reminds me of all the things I want to get done and everything I have to do. Each stone is either a task or an opportunity.
I need to write my bio for both my blogs as well as the about pages. It seems silly to be creating content everyday and not have those two things done.
I want to begin painting several projects that have been floating in the back of my mind. My ideas like to whisper "make us, it'll be fun". But at the same time I have actual homework I need to complete.
I'd like to have a story I wrote so long ago published. But to do that I need to get over my fears of rejection and send it out into the world. I also fear spelling mistakes and poor choice of words.
I have a keynote speech and presentation to create. Two things I'm equally excited and nervous about.
And of course there are two delightful little boys to cuddle. To clean, feed and rock to sleep.
When I look at this photo it reminds me that I'm surrounded by a happy life.
Day 57 of 365 Feet Project
Titles are hard. That's what is going through my mind while I stare at these photos remembering the day I took them. A good day.
To take the photo of my foot I stood on the edge of the dock leaning over a bit. Yuri held me in place so I didn't fall into the water. He comes in handy for that kind of thing a lot of the time.
I also thought about naming the post, My Favorite People, because I included Yuri and Rosie. They looked very photogenic that day.
I enjoy naming things but sometimes I'm at a loss for an interesting relevant title. I'm probably going to start writing titles like help! trapped in a box... That's how I sometimes subject my emails to my mother. She's not always amused.
Day 56 of 365 Feet Project
I think my next few posts will be taken from 2013 when I had a picnic with my family at Hecla Island. I took many photos as always and I've used a couple to create Wandering banner.
The weather was terrible for a picnic but fantastic for taking pictures of foreboding clouds and a shifty looking pelican.
Day 55 of 365 Feet Project
Playing around with Picasa. Taken on one of the docks at Hecla.
Day 54 of 365 Feet Project
I miss the ocean and the sand under my toes. The sun heating my face and watching it dip slowly into the sea. I like the conversations I have with water. Large bodies of water that I can walk along for hours.
I can't wait to introduce my sons to the ocean. I wonder what they'll talk about.
